In the Senate, yesterday, » Message wax received from tho Piesitiant »»f ttie United S aies, commtmiciiing 'copies of the orders issued to the commander* of the Military and Naval forces of the Uni ted States, sta ioned in and noarCharles jon, Sou'h Carolina. Titese papers were aumbeted from 1 to 17 inclusive. Mr. Forsyth called l*r the reading. Several of them were accordingly read. When Mr. Grundy said, (ho Senate had lietnd enough of these papers, to enable (hem to judge of their chaiacier* for the purpose of saving time,he moved the futiher read iag be dispensed with, which was ag earl to. The message and .papers were laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Benton, on leave, introduced a filial resolution, changing the time of the election of the printer or printers to Con gress, from the end of tho going out of to the first week of the session s ot the new Congress, was read the firs', time, and ordered to a second reading. Mr. Clay suit! he had, on (he prucedir,t day given notice that he should ask loav*- to offer to the consideration of the Semite, a bill to modify the act of ihc 14 h July. 1832, and the other acts of Congress ini posing duties on iinpfci is— and that with per mission of the Senate, he would make •onto explanation of its provisions, in. taking this step he had no personal views to gratify—-his course had been exclusive ly governed by a deep sense of the duty which lie owed the country, in its pres ent distracted condition. W ten he sur veyed the face of tho eoun ry, evidence •of tho highest degree of prosperity was wvery where to be saca—and yei through out ns whole wide-spread extent, grea dissentions and divisions of opinion pte- V-riled. In intioducing the proposed motr tire to the House, tie bad two great objec. - in view. The first related to the TariH policy. He would expiess tho opiuiot which had not been hastily formed, ilia the policy of pro eciiou was in (lie tn;>» imminent daeger. If it should be pre served for the present session, it m.tsi in evitable fall a the next session of Con :gr<e«s. The c iutes which had produced 4bis s-tate of probability he would not now go into. He was fully satisfied that the <**is iag tariff could nut be preset vet! •hot by the application of forcible metis -lire*. Recourse t<> such a policy coaid Hot fail to be attended hv the most calam itous consequences. When he looked lo .the vast extent and importance of the interests protected by the Tariff policy,' be could iioi contemplate its sudden over throw without .terror. History furnished no example of such ruin and destruction as wmild be brought upon the country, by a sudden repeal of ihe protective svs {•Mil. The revocation of the Edict of Nuntz was nothing to il. The compla nt» which now divide and distract the Amer- Can people are on tho one hard, that they are ground down by a system af unjust taxation which paralyzed their industry —on the o’her, that the vacillating, vibra ting policy of Congress in relation to the protection of our uwq products, ass >rdii»g no certain means of calculation. Before A law bad gone into operation—a law. 100, passed with extraordinary research and deliberation, it i> now to be repealed before its opeiatiun ha« been tested by a oy experience < f il« provisions. Fur the purpose of taking uvvay the occasion of these complaints on the one side and the other, he had sought for some principle •of mutual accommodation, which might be satufzciory to b >lh parties—to afford', on the one hand, the assurance that the rates of duty should at a future day be brought down to a bate revenue standard —and to promise on the other, sta6i/ity and permanency to our policy. The ba sis upon which the principle of accommo dation, which he should propose, was founded, was time. The extent of time which would form the ingredient of ;he Jjill, WHS bng Compared with human life —but it was short—very short, in refer ence to the measures of a wise govern ment. With these preliminary remarks, he would beg leave to call the attention of the Senate to the provisions of the proposed bill. By the Ist section, it wis provided that in all cases where the duties impos ed by the act of the 14ih Julv’ 1832, or any other act which should be infoice af ter that act went into operation should exceed 20 per cent, the amount of that excess shall he gradually be reduced by deducting one tenth on the 30ih Sept. 1833—'one tenth on the 30th Sept. 1835; one ( tenth on 30th Sept. 1837—«oe tent|i on the 30th September 1839—one half of all that" remains exceeding 20 per .cent, to be taken off on the 80 b Septem ber, 1841, add the other half on the 30th all articles whatever, on which a greater rate of duty is now imposed than 20 per cent, after the expiratiou of nine years and a half, at that rate of duty. Mr. C. illustrates the operation of i’his principle by staling its effects upon oolens, which, by the aci of the 14th July, were subjected to a duty of 50 per cent. Tl e excess subject to a gradual reduction is 30 per cent. This would be rr-d iced by tenths, biennially until 1839, W:ii*ti the duty would be 93 per cent—<>f this 9 per ci nt being mie half the exvi s Il be taken i ffiu >lß4l, and 9 per c l . more the other half, m-1842. leaving tho permanent duty 20perct. afterwards. By the 2d section of the (imposed bill, it is provided that su much of the act of 14 li of July as fixes the rate'of duly upon plain kerseys and Kendal Cottons at 5 per cent should be repealed, and these articles subject to the same rate of duty with other woollen -goods. It-would bo recollected these at tides were sepermed from the mass of wouHen tnanufactuies as being peculiarly l b<Mrtiensome to tiie South, in order to proeme a feeling of acquiescence in die other provisions of hat law. As (his discrimination had failed of producing that r'fTect, they should be pi teed with the other Woollen manufac . 'os, and be subjected to the same scale of reduction. By the 3d section it is provided that the prosent mode of payment of-duties shall he continued until the 30 h Septem lx r, -1842. Aler that period all duties shall -be paid in ready money, and the whole credit system abol shed. By die 4tii s- dio* it is proposed to be that iti addition to the liti of ar licles exempted ft ont dHy by tie act t f 14i!i July, the follow iog to bo added— bleached and unbleached linens, silks im ported from couiitries this side the Cape of G »od Hope, worsted stuff goods siiawts, and all o'her manufactures of silk and worsted. This provision had 'been introduced for the pnrposo of guarding a gainst any accumulation of surplus reve nue. If tho land bill which bad passed the Senate, and the gradual reduction of duties i). rposed by this be carried into es feet, the p. eseut Cougrevs will have sei 'fo'l two if not t ; ree of the most aerating questions which have ever convulsed the Coun ry. Tin revenue which might be received into tii T easury beyond the i'litn diate v ants of tho G venimem, bef«ue the rate o' dudes camo to its min imum in 1842, would be sufficient to finish the works already commenced. 110 had been g eatly astonished by the disclosure of the process by which the Secretary of the Tteasury proposed to keep the revenue down to the wants of tho Gover mire ut. Tii a i officer had sup (> serllhita eduction of die r..ies .<f duty would reduce th» revenue in the same prop" tion. If »heie w>s any itutb in protciplas of | oli ic tl economy, titis wou’d nos bo the result. Ilwis ani xm, thu cjosomption acrensed in proportion to th reduction of price.—The duly com poses n part of h- p ice. If the doty is reduced, the c nsuinp o:i is increased, ind n! Court.? h ;ve amount of rev etiueisaLo ocreased. This was proba hlv not ts- desire a( the Secretary. But he inns' be permuted t= siy, that iheq>l:nf Inf had tjepij elsewhere jneseriied for 1,0 reduction of the Tariff, was ttie most r fu ly and' 1 vised sciieni'' that could be iin agined. It assumed a certain basis for tho future expenditure ut the goveru m tn.', which was absolutely impossible to fix with any degree «>f ceriainijy. He w mid proceed to the oihor provision of thu ut.i, alter briefly exphuianing the ground o-l <be proposed discriminatinn he»wee;itho silks »f Cliina and those of I'iance. Its object waste encoutage uni- commerce with that power which had become one of the most important cus turners for our great Southern staple. The consumption of cotton .from the South in t ranee, had tiipled within four teen yoars—and it was generally under stood that without a discrimination in ■ their f»vnT,jthe low priced silks of France could not meet those of China in the market* . By ih« stli se tion of the proposed bill, it was provided that after the 30 h September, 1842, raw cotton, indigo, quicksilver, o|>ium, and a great variety of drugs, and sot ill article* used principally in manufactures, may be imported fee from doty. Tite sixth and last section of the pro posed bill, repeals so much of the net of I,4th J dy, 1832. and of all other laws, as are inconsistent with its provisions. M•. Chy then went into an elaborate argument, in defence of die provisions of his proposed bill, in anticipation of the objections which might be tuged against it by the friends of tho protective system. He contended at length that it did not yield the principle.of protection, but on ly proposed a forbearance of its exercise. He for one was willing to sacrifice every tiling to peace and union. The State of South Carolina was engaged in making experiments, fog tho purpose of ascertain ing whether she could not disable the Gen. Government from executing its laws within her limits. That was special pleading business utterly unworthy of her. It was impossible for her citizens, ingen ins as they undoubtedly weie, to devise laws which could not be countervailed by the Gon. Government. If she should put her threats of se-cession from the Un ion in to execution, what would be her si'uation ! She has a population of about half a million of souls—of what descrip tion a large part of ibis population was, he would not enquire. For her protec tion, she must maintain fleets, armies for eign ambassadors, and all the expensive establishment of an independent nation. How they are to be maintained ? Will she not be competed ro impose a tariff infinitely more onerous upon her citizens than the present ? What will be the con dition of a great portion of the property of that State—which now alone gives ef ficiency to her resources—and the value of which is governed by the price it bears in the South Western States? It would immediately lose a great portion of its value, if no worse consequences resulted. The failure of that State in her present schemes, was inevitable. Bat however misguided and rash her conduct bad been he was unwilling to disgrace her. H could not forget ihut her citizens vilian ' fought side by -ide with those of the ther Stales io those battles which had su* cured ihe glory and independence of ii nation. Alt. C. concluded by nv>vl for leave to introduce the bill modif-.’ theiprovisiens of the act of July 14th, 1332,and all oilier acts imposing duties un imports. Mr. Culhouu, said ho entirely approv ed of the objoct of the bill proposed bv the Seiißtor from K -'iitucky [Mr. Clay •] Every man who laved the Union must ardently desiie to see ibis distracting ques i.»n terminated. Until thi-i tvas doue,there never could be peace and harmony among its several members. He verily believed that the present degraded political condition of the country «as principally owing to the discord which had arisen out n! this subject. Tho prin ciple upon which the proposed bill was based, met his eutiio approbation. II the tariff was ever adjusted, it could only be bv giving time upon the one side: and Cnmmg down to a general system of at and valoiem duties on the other. F<r him self he would say that he occupied a po sition as hostile to the protecfive system as any man in Asnerca—but he would never agree to the passage of any bill which would destroy the capital and skill which had grown up under fit in the Nor thern States. At last we must come down to the system of ad valorem duties-, but hoped nor so suddenly as to impair the value of the vast amount of skill and capital now engaged in manufactures. It would not be in order to avert to the do tails of the bill; but he Would repeat that its genoral principle met his entire ap probation, and under it, he hoped this vexed question would be settled furev er. ■ MR.

But the supporters ol Mr. Clay, who ate also thorough going 1 ai iff inert, will not go with this new measure, unless Jhey chantre considerably in their determination! To-day there is a brg» class of these who ate extremely diggati-fii-d, and who ate as ready to charge Mr Clay with bargaining awry the Tariff and is friends with Mr. Calhoun, ns Minis once were to aci use Mr. Clay of mak iig a bargain with Mr. Adorns. It is difficult, in (be ptesenl misty slate of the polit ical atmosphere, to tell exactly where the land lies Mr. Clay himself, I find, thinks that the step lie has taken is one the policy of which as respects his own staudiug, aud the rff.cts of which as telutes to ihe condition of the South, and the course of the E tsf. are yet to be learnr and from experience, it being impossible to form, at this moment,.any accurate conjecture as to tl ther.

Mr For syth objected so grr-.nimg the leave askad by Mr ('lay to introduce his bill. He said that it wa* pe< uliat-ly fitting that a measure of concession should ec-me from one t« whom was •to be attri bu'ed all the discord which now distracts the country, Mr. Webster exhibited symptoms of oppuguation on this occasion, whence it is infer red that there will be a split in the old Clay par ty. arid that Ike ultra Tariff will form as a se parate legion, and choose anew leader. You will perceive by the paper*, that the u arrin? hosts in the House of Hi preaentatives folded their arm*, and looked on while l-isscene, which is to fix the destiny of the country, was exhibit ed on the floor of the Senate.
